Update: 2020-02-28
Description
We’ve probably all been to an event or a party where you don’t know anyone? In these instances, how do you feel? Are you a little nervous? Hesitant? Do you run to the one person you do know as soon as you see them? Do you locate the nearest exits, as well as the bathroom just in case? I think, for many of at least, we can easily understand and relate to this feelings. This is because safety is our brain’s primary concern. It wants to ensure that we are as safe as possible. Now, think about our students. Do they feel safe? Do we provide a safe environment? And what happens when kids don’t feel safe?
